Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Already York City and Braintree relegated from the National League. They go down with North Ferriby and Southport.
In League 2 Hartlepool could go down if they don't win and Newport lose. At the moment Newport are winning and Hartlepool are losing. Jeff Stelling not quite so enthusiastic presenting his show today.
Crazy play off race in League 2 as well. As it stands 5 clubs outside the play off places could all still get in.
No League 1 today. The final games for that league are tomorrow. Still a relegation place to sort and a promotion place still open, Sheff Utd are up but they could be joined by Bolton or Fleetwood.
In the Championship Wigan will go down if they don't win, and might go down even if they do win. At the moment they are 1 - 0 down at Reading.
Blackburn could go down if they lose, Birmingham win and Forest draw. All those teams are level at the moment.
But Birmingham, who could drop into the bottom three have already missed a penalty and are down to 10 men.
At the top, as it stands Leeds have missed out on the play offs, they are six adrift of Sheff Weds and Fulham.
Leeds are losing, Wednesday are drawing and Fulham (the form team) are winning.
In the Premier League Sunderland will go down if Hull better their result. Swansea, in the bottom three are away at Man Utd tomorrow, the six teams above them are all playing today and could extend the gap leaving Swansea in deeper trouble. They could end the day five points adrift.

Just as Leeds might see some hope with Fulham conceding v Brentford (1-1) they have gone 0-2 against Norwich.

Stelling very "professional" today. Doubt we'll see any histrionics after his embarrassing tirade last week.
Fulham just been pegged back :angry:
Your last point, wouldn't that be nice to see.

Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Birmingham, with 10 men, are now beating Huddersfield. With Forest drawing at the moment Blackburn are only one goal away (if Villa scored) from going down with Wigan today.
If it stays as it is Blackburn would be three points from safety with one game to play (and they have a worse goal difference)

I agree with you about Jeff Stelling - I'm a big fan of his, but that was poor last week.
Not good news for him so far this week either - County a goal up at Carlisle and it's 1-0 to Cheltenham against Hartlepool, Newport are safe if results stay the same.
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Leeds 1 - 3 Norwich
If they lose Leeds only hope is that Fulham lose but they have more than +10 goals on them.
Fulham 1 - 1 Brentford at the moment with Fulham just missing a penalty that would have given them the lead back

Stelling and his cronies are so far up their backsides it's surprising you can still see them. Bunch of childish histrionics from them every week.

Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Leeds fighting back 2 - 3 now v Norwich
QPR 1 - 0 Forest.
That reprieves Blackburn and leaves Forest looking worringly over their shoulder.
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Blackburn 1 - 0 Villa
That puts them level with Forest and means that Birmingham, Burton and Bristol City are still not mathematically safe
Great drama as this swings all over the place.
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Now Burton have equalised they move into a safe position.
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
If Birmingham were to draw today (they currently 1 - 0 up) then Blackburn, Forest and Birmingham would all be on 48 points with one game to play.
Games currently
Blackburn 1-0 Villa
QPR 2-0 Forest
Birmingham 1-0 Huddersfield.
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Leeds 3-3 Norwich
Birmingham 2 - 0 Huddersfield
Leeds mathmatically in play off contention but a dozen or so goals short. They need to win and Fulham not win.
Birmingham still not safe with a win. But are two points ahead of Blackburn and Forest

Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted

Hull keeper saves pen :thumbup:

Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Southampton just missed a 90th min penalty. FT 0-0. So Hull have gained a point on Swansea, as will West Ham.
Sunderland 0-1 FT. Mackems relegated.
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
FT Blackburn 1-0 Villa
That means Blackburn fight on to the final day and Wigan are relegated.
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Cheltenham boss Gary Johnson is in hospital with a set back after heart surgery.
So they have a cardboard cut out of him on the sidelines to shake hands with the Hartlepool management.

Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Sounds like a thriller at Elland Road 3-3 in front of 85,000 fans.
Stelling not 'appy Hartlepool lost
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
FT Leeds 3-3 Norwich.
Leeds are three points behind Fulham but are 13 goals worse off. See ya next season Leeds.
Burton have survived and stay up.
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Rotherham and Wigan relegated.
Bristol City 51pts GD -6 (need 1 point to stay up - but have superior GD unless they get two decent beatings)
Birmingham 50 pts GD -20
Forest 48 pts GD -13
Blackburn 48 pts GD -14
To play
Today Brighton v Bristol City
Next week:
Bristol City v Birmingham
Forest v Ipswich
Brentford v Blackburn
-
Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Could Bristol be back in the relegation dogfight after tonight? If BHA want to win the title with a swagger then a big scoreline tonight against Bristol might be on the cards. Bristol currently 3 points clear of the drop with -6 GD.
If Birmingham, Blackburn and Forest win their final games (Away v Bristol, Away v Brentford and Home v Ipswich respectively) then this could be a really unlikely but not impossible scenario...

Re: Today's football - Plenty could be sorted
Game not over at Orient.
Fans have invaded the pitch and are protesting against their shit of an owner
Game stopped on 85 mins and has been interrupted for around the last half an hour
